Earlier this year, BTS launched a new solution, the Savings Game, in partnership with Sparkassenstiftung (SBFIC).

The Savings Game targets savings mobilization and financial literacy, specifically for students, private individuals and young households. The Savings Game was developed by BTSers Annelien Degadt and Ville Nurmos, and designed by Julia Barrett.

After a successful pilot in Armenia, the program has been run in Kazakhstan and is now demanded in countries as Ecuador, Philippines, Russia, and other countries, to be delivered in a variety of languages. To make sure local trainers are set up for success and can lead the solution themselves, the developers of the program organized a “train-the-trainer program” that was delivered in September 2015.
